NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:268. [PMID: 38334538 PMCID: PMC10856399 DOI: 10.3390/nano14030268] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Recently, silica nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention as biocompatible and stable templates for embedding noble metals. Noble-metal-embedded silica NPs utilize the exceptional optical properties of novel metals while overcoming the limitations of individual novel metal NPs. In addition, the structure of metal-embedded silica NPs decorated with small metal NPs around the silica core results in strong signal enhancement in localized surface plasmon resonance and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. This review summarizes recent studies on metal-embedded silica NPs, focusing on their unique designs and applications. The characteristics of the metal-embedded silica NPs depend on the type and structure of the embedded metals. Based on this progress, metal-embedded silica NPs are currently utilized in various spectroscopic applications, serving as nanozymes, detection and imaging probes, drug carriers, photothermal inducers, and bioactivation molecule screening identifiers. Owing to their versatile roles, metal-embedded silica NPs are expected to be applied in various fields, such as biology and medicine, in the future.

Abstract
As newly developed synthetic enzymes with exceptional catalytic capabilities and outstanding stability, nanozymes have drawn considerable interest in the realm of sensing. Using a simple hydrothermal process, iodine and copper-doped carbon dots (Cu,I-CDs) with simulated enzymes were fabricated in the current investigation. Cu,I-CDs demonstrate peroxidase-mimicking function together with high catalytic effectiveness due to aforementioned features. This led to generation of a colorimetric sensor for quick and accurate quantitative assessment of morphine (MOR). The outcomes showed the method's usefulness for the colorimetric detection of MOR. The linear range for MOR detection is 0.25-25 μg/mL having a reduced detection limit of 64 ng/mL. This sensor's successful use in the analysis of MOR in biological material is more noteworthy.

Zhu J, Jiang H, Wang W. Colorimetric sensor array for discriminating and determinating phenolic pollutants basing on different ratio of ligands in Cu/MOFs. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 460:132418.

Abstract
The high toxicity and low biodegradability of the phenolic pollutants destroyed the balance of the environment and influenced human health seriously. Here, we developed a three-dimensional coloremetric sensor array for discriminating and determinating phenolic pollutants basing on the distinct Cu/nucleotides MOFs. Firstly, three laccase-mimic Cu/MOFs (Cu/AMP, Cu/CMP, and Cu/GMP) were obtained by regulating the molar ratio of Cu2+ and nucleotides. Then the Cu/MOFs as the recognition elements of the sensor array catalyzed the pollutants-4-AAP-H2O2 system, obtaining the colored benzoquinone products. Subsequently, the data array obtaining from the combined training matrix (3 Cu/MOFs × 6 pollutants × 5 replicates) was projected into a new dimensional space to obtain the 3D canonical scores, and classified into individual clusters by introducing LDA method. No overlap in their respective LDA plots for the six phenolic pollutants with different concentrations suggested the prominent discriminating performance of the sensor array. Furthermore, the sensor array exhibited high selectivity compared to the "lock-and-key" sensors even other active matrices coexisting in water samples. Importantly, the most influential discrimination factor was used to monitor the levels of the six targets, evidencing the potential application in assessing water pollution and maintaining human health.

Abstract
Purpose A novel CYPA-targeted, SiO2 encapsulated Au star@AgAu yolk-shell nanostructure (YSNS) was synthesized and used for ovarian cancer early diagnosis and therapy. Methods Diverse spectroscopic and microscopic methods were utilized to investigate the pattern of the yolk-shell nanostructure. In addition, in vitro and in vivo experiments were carried out. Results It can be found that the ratio of HAuCl4 and AgNO3 played a critical role in the constitution of the yolk-shell nanostructure. The as-prepared yolk-shell nanostructure showed excellent SERS performance, which could be utilized as SERS substrate for specific sensitivity analysis of ovarian cancer markers cyclophilin A (CYPA) with detectable limit of 7.76*10-10 μg/mL. In addition, the as-prepared yolk-shell nanostructure possessed outstanding photothermal performance, which could be used as photothermal agent for ovarian cancer therapy. Experiments in vitro and in vivo proved that the as-prepared yolk-shell nanostructures are ideal candidate for early diagnosis and therapy for ovarian cancer in one platform. Conclusion This work holds promise to offer a new method for the detection and therapy of ovarian cancer in the early stage.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with catalytic properties similar to those of natural enzymes, and they have recently been collectively identified as a class of innovative artificial enzymes. Nanozymes are widely used in various fields, such as biomedicine, due to their high catalytic activity and stability. Nanozymes can trigger changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in cells and the activation of inflammasomes, leading to the programmed cell death (PCD), including the pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy, of tumor cells. In addition, some nanozymes consume glucose, starving cancer cells and thus accelerating tumor cell death. In addition, the electric charge of the structure and the catalytic activity of nanozymes are sensitive to external factors such as light and electric and magnetic fields. Therefore, nanozymes can be used with different therapeutic methods, such as chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and sonodynamic therapy (SDT), to achieve highly efficient antitumor effects. Many cancer therapies induce tumor cell death via the pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy of tumor cells mediated by nanozymes. We review the mechanisms of pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy in tumor development, as well as the potential application of nanozymes to regulate pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and autophagy in tumor cells.

Abstract
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with mimicked enzymatic activity, whose catalytic activity can be designed by changing their physical parameters and chemical composition. With the development of biomedical and material science, artificially created nanozymes have high biocompatibility and can catalyze specific biochemical reactions under biological conditions, thus playing a vital role in regulating physiological activities. Under pathological conditions, natural enzymes are limited in their catalytic capacity by the varying reaction conditions. In contrast, compared to natural enzymes, nanozymes have advantages such as high stability, simplicity of modification, targeting ability, and versatility. As a result, the novel role of nanozymes in medicine, especially in tumor therapy, is gaining increasing attention. In this review, function and application of various nanozymes in the treatment of cancer are summarized. Future exploration paths of nanozymes in cancer therapies based on new insights arising from recent research are outlined.
